Cross - who also goes by the name Frazier Glenn Miller â??â?? began ranting "Heil Hitler" after his arrest.

In 1987, Cross, who was then known as Miller, pleaded guilty to weapons charges and agreed to testify against white supremacist associates. "But Miller's plea bargain likely included federal witness protection services as well," the Star reports.

The paper said the 1987 sentencing memorandum recommended witness protection for Miller. A year later, Miller testified against 14 members of the supremacist group The Order at their sedition trial in Fort Smith, Ark. All were acquitted of charges they plotted to overthrow the federal government and establish an all-white nation in the Pacific Northwest.

Federal officials would not confirm that Miller/Cross was protected, but the Star says Frazier Glenn Cross received a Social Security number in 1990 -- the year he was released from prison.

Cross re-emerged in 1999 when he published his autobiography A White Man Speaks Out, which includes praise for The Order. In 2001, he began publishing the 16-page Newspaper For White Men. The Anti-Defamation League says Miller apparently paid for the publication himself, distributing it in southwest Missouri. A year later, he changed the name of his publication to The European-American, calling it "the white-friendly newspaper," the league reports.

Cross ran for Congress in Missouri in 2006, collecting 23 votes. Four years later a U.S. Senate run drew seven votes. He tried to buy TV ad time to press his racist views, but stations balked and the Federal Communications Commission ruled he was not a bona fide candidate, which allowed the stations to reject his ads.

In 2012, Cross spoke to 16 Missouri State University undergraduates and told a Jewish student who was challenging his views that she should be "the first to go."
